ROCHESTER — Candidates applying for City Council Ward 4 Seat B, which became vacant after the death of Councilor Ray Lundborn in August, will be interviewed during the council meeting on Tuesday.

During Tuesday's meeting, the candidates who have applied for the position — Kenneth Billings, Jerry DeLemus, Lee Faulkner, Donald Hamann, David M. Hynes and Albert Warren Small II — will make presentations and answer any questions by the council, before the City Council votes to appoint the candidate during a meeting in October.

Legal and engineering consultants will also make a presentation Tuesday regarding permitting issues for the wastewater treatment plant. The firm Brown and Caldwell has studied scenarios in which the EPA would require the plant limiting its nitrogen discharge levels to 8 milligrams per liter, and to 3 milligrams per liter. Also in the future, the EPA may issue a requirement limiting phosphorus amounts to 0.10 milligrams per liter.

Such limits could not be accomplished with the current configuration of Rochester's wastewater treatment plant, and according to the firm's presentation, reaching a 3 milligram per liter levels for nitrogen, and 0.10 milligram per liter permit for phosphorus, could cost between $15.1 million to $19.7 million in capital costs alone.

Also on Tuesday, the council will hear a presentation by author Kathryn Grover, who recently gave her manuscript for the history of Rochester to the trustees of the trust funds. The trustees are now looking for guidance from the City Council on how many books to publish through Randall Publishing Company.

The City Council will also discuss proposed ballot questions that will appear during November's federal election.

Tuesday's meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall.
